Hello, My partner and I are Median household income is $103,750, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $253,400, which seems about average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in education. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Italian.
